Article found to be a hoax, for reasons set forth below azumanga (talk) 03:03, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Opening remarks: I have nominated this article for deletion, due to it being a hoax for the following reasons: For these reasons I declare this article false. -- azumanga (talk) 03:03, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It was mentioned that Cox Communications bought FUSE Radio in 2005, after it bought a Norfolk, Virginia station on "105.8". First, due to FCC regulations, cable companies cannot own terrestrial radio or TV stations in areas where they have cable systems. Cox owns several cable systems in the Hampton Roads area, including Norfolk. Also, there could not be a 105.8 FM in the US -- FM radio standards in North America allow only odd FM radio frequencies (105.7 or 105.9, but not 105.8); also, there's already an FM station on 105.7 -- WRSF.
 * FUSE Radio also mentions an alliance with TiVo -- TiVo is strictly a television service.
 * Links for The Washington Post go to wapost.com, instead of washingtonpost.com. The wapost.com address go to an advertising site, unrelated to The Washington Post. The Virginian Pilot reference is also false.
